CNN Cuts to Commercial as Wolf Blitzer Looks Like He’s About to Vomit: ‘Wolf Wasn’t Feeling 100%’

CNN abruptly cut to commercial on Thursday after anchor Wolf Blitzer looked like he was about to vomit during an interview with House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD).

As Blitzer listened to Raskin on The Situation Room, he could be seen exhibiting a number of pained expressions, seemingly struggling to stop himself from vomiting.

Nearly a full minute later, CNN producers appeared to catch on to Blitzer’s situation and cut his feed, leaving Raskin to continue with his remarks on his own.

Seconds later, vomit-like sounds could be heard before Raskin was cut off mid-sentence and the show abruptly jumped into a commercial.

After the break, CNN chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid appeared in Blitzer’s place and announced that “Wolf had to step away” and would “be back.”

Blitzer, however, did not return before the end of his show.

Following the incident, CNN told Washington Post media reporter Will Sommer, “Wolf wasn’t feeling 100% while anchoring Thursday night. He looks forward to being back in the Situation Room and appreciates the well wishes.”

Blitzer himself also confirmed that he was okay, tweeting, “I’m fine! Thanks for the well wishes. I’ll see you back in the Situation Room soon.”
